The outlook for the season among. the

A Rows LuncI,.

A recent writer-and she writes
as one whom any boy would love-
tells how she saw a mother put up
lunch for her boy to take to school,
and then she tells very prettily how
daintily she would have put up that
lunch, and we know she would do
just as she said. Now, if we were
going to put up that lunch for a boy
13 years old, we wouldn't take
little tin pail, nor yet a neat little
covered basket. We would Just
take the market basket, if the fam
lily wasn't going to use it that day
and we would cut up loaf of bread,
and trim off every bit of the crust to
keep the boy from lying about it,
and telling that he ate it and didn't
fire it over the fence, when he came
home We would cut the loaf of
bread into slices and spread on but
ter until it began to fall off, then VIC
would stack on the sugar as long as
it would last. Then we would load
in couple of links of sausage and
some slabs of ham; dainty cluster
of hard boiled eggs-say half dozen
all the cake there was in tho
house, and fill up the rest of the
space with pie, and then stuff two
of his pockets full of apples to eat
during school hours, and fill the rest
of his pockets with nuts, and give
him five cents to buy ataffy." Then,
if that boy come home at 4 o'clock
and said he didn't have enough
luncheon and couldn't he have u
piece, we would give him the keys
to the cellar, cupboard, pantry, cake
chest and fruit closet. We were a
boy ourself, onee.-Angusta, Maine,

A NarroW Escane.

a couple of negro whitewashers
at the market were condoling with
each other yesterday morning when
a white man stepped up, bent over
and felt around their heels, and
rose up with three $40 gold pieces
in his hand.
"Dropped'm there an hour or SO
ago." he explained as he jingIed
them under their chins and walked
off.
The two men looked at each other
for a long time, and them one OBJ
served:
"Rastus, dar hain't no luck in dis
world fur us, shore. We was walk

One day, in a fit of abstraction,
the juvenile George cut down Bush
rods favorite cherry tree with a
hatchet. His purpose was to cut
and run.
But the old gentleman came sail

just as the future father of his coun-

Look here, sonny" thundered

A story is told of a game of poker
that moved the capital of Dakota.
1t was at that memorable winter
session at Yankton where several
towns were pitted against one an
other as to which should secure the
coveted honor. It happened that
two towns were tied on the vote,
and single additional ballot would
have secured the prize for either.
It was in this condition of affairs
that job was put up to secure the
single lacking vote by inyeigling
poker loving member INTO a game of
draw There We're four in tho
party-three from one of the rival
towns and the proposed victim from
the other. The game was. in an
upper room. of a hotel and play was
high and furious, as the partici-
pants had full purses. The great
game was, after awhile, opened with
800 in the pot. Ithad been agreed
to give the victim a fine hand and
to give one of the other three con-
spirators hand that would beat it.
He got the hand, looked at it and
said, as he raised the ante, ait will
take 5000 to draw cards"
The other two conspirators passed
out and the victim raised $500.
They seesawed until $4,000 was up,
when they drew. The conspirator
took one card to four kings. The
victim hesitated, and finally drew
three. Then the betting began, and
did not stop till $4,000 more was ON
the table. Then the conspirator
made his side even and said.
81 am out of money, but I'll raise
you 16O acres of land in Beadle
county. No, 1 won't, either, but
I'll tell you what I'll do-I'n bet
you my vote on the capital"
"Done," said the victim, and the
hands were spread ont. The con-
spirator had four kings and reached
for the pot.
eHoId on" said the victim, as ho
laid down four aces. "Your vote
will bring the capital to Bismarck"
and it did.
His hand had been queen full
on aces, and he discarded tho queens,
but where he got the aces nobody
could tell.

A writer in the Chicago Journal
breaches the following sermon to
girls on the danger of Irritation. 1t
is worth reading g-every line Of it
q a girl fiirts with stranger on the
street The result is something dis.
agreeable, and straightway comes
the excuse: aWhy, I meant no
harm. 1 simply wanted to have a
little funl''
sNow, look at me straight in the
eye, young gossamer-head. while i
tell you what I know. The girl
who viii indulge in Irritation with
strange young men in public places,
however harmless and innocent it
may appear, places herself in their
estimation upon q level with the
most abandoned @of her sex, and
courts thesame vile regard Strong
language FOR q mild 1nnnnered Amz
Der to make use of, but tell you /
become furious old grandmother
the moment see a blessed young
girl tiptoeing her thoughtless way
upon this road that leads to death
and destruction The boat that
dances like feather on the tide a
few miles above the commencement
of Niagara rapids is just as much
lost as when it enters the swirling
water of waters, unless strong
hand keeps it up stream and out OF
danger. A Irritation to-day is a
ripple merely, but tomorrow it will
be breaker, and then whirlpool,
and after that comes hopeless loss OF
character. .
